The Charlesworth Veterinary Surgery

The Charlesworth Veterinary Surgery is a companion animal practice. The practice was established by Chris Charlesworth in Clay Cross in 1979 and has been caring for the pets of Chesterfield, Clay Cross, Alfreton and surrounding areas ever since. Chris has now retired but the practice continues to be an independently owned and run, non-corporate practice, with you and your pets' interests foremost.

Our aim is to do what is right for you and your pet.

We have large waiting rooms, consulting rooms, modern theatres, plus a dedicated preparation and dental procedure room, an ultrasound machine, blood pressure measurement equipment and an extensive laboratory which allows us to provide same day results for the majority of our blood tests.

It is important that you are able to make the best decisions with regard to the care and wellbeing of your pet so we take the time to explain your pets treatment options to you.

Our Veterinary Surgeons and Nurses are trained to high standard so you can be assured of excellent treatment for your Pet and peace of mind for you. If you are unsure about anything please ask.

We like to mention that in addition to our assistance for private patients, we work extensively with a number of charities, particularly GAANS, SNAR, the CPL and the PDSA. We are happy to support them and we thank everyone for their help.

Building work is complete on the redesigned waiting room, reception and dispensary at Clay Cross. We still have some detailing to complete but we are nearly there. Thanks for your patience during the work.The new waiting room is split into two sides with different porch doors to lead you in the right direction. Cats and other animals in boxes that might be scared by dogs should take the right side porch door (with the cat picture). Dogs and their owners should take the straight ahead door (with the dog picture). Please make sure if you have a dog you are sitting on the correct side of the waiting room and if you have to walk through the cat side to see your vet then do not let your dog sniff at the cats' boxes. Cat owners please feel free to put your cat carrier on the chairs unless other clients need to sit down. Cats are often happier when higher up so being off the floor should help to reduce their stress levels.
